Chapter 780: Everyone's Expectation
The Kronos Kingdom's attitude was very peaceful.
Had they raised the white flag and surrendered?
They showed no sign of resistance, allowing the Pirate Alliance Army to enter this Sea Area.
Roughly speaking, there wasn't a very clear boundary between Faction.
Basically, Territory was divided by Island.
But what about the areas between Island?
There was a very vast Sea Area.
These Great Seas had no master; anyone could enter.
Because the Great Sea didn't belong to anyone, it was normal for ordinary Faction and merchant ships to travel through the Territory of various Top Power.
But it was different in the Kronos Kingdom's Northern Sea Area.
The vast Sea Area had a clearly defined Sea Area Range.
Large numbers of warships constantly patrolled the periphery of this Sea Area, and they even built quite a few Marine Base.
Merchants and Faction who frequently came to the Kronos Kingdom for trade were all aware of how terrifying these Marines were.
Under normal circumstances, Pirate was forbidden from entering.
Unless they passed through a fixed Shipping Route.
Pirate who trespassed without permission were either destroyed or expelled.
Ultimately, this Sea Area did not welcome foreign Pirate.
Nobody believed they were just here for travel.
From the moment the Kronos Kingdom began its rule over this Sea Area, they had never concealed this idea.
Even if foreign Faction wanted to come to an Island in this Sea Area for development, they had to ask if the Kronos Kingdom's Military agreed.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the attitude was very clear.
The Big Mom Pirates understood this point, and the Flying Pirates understood it too.
Faction that didn't understand suffered painful blows immediately.
Regarding this point, even the World Government wouldn't arbitrarily interfere.
What was wrong with the Kronos Kingdom sending out its Military to maintain the stable state of the Surrounding Seas?
Everything had to be decided by strength.
And those truly smart people could clearly see that the Kronos Kingdom didn't put this Pirate Alliance Army in their eyes at all.
Those who knew that "\"Pluto\" Hades" stood behind Trade Island were not surprised.
Those who didn't know were very surprised by the Kronos Kingdom's confidence.
The Kronos Kingdom stood behind Trade Island.
But news about Hades was very scarce on the Great Sea, because it had never been revealed.
Related information was also extremely obscure.
Those who knew, or Faction that had come into contact with the Kronos Kingdom, should know.
And those who didn't know might never know in their entire lives.
In fact, in the eyes of many people, Hades had always been in the Pluto Sea Area, merely hidden in the shadows.
Even regarding Territory, in the eyes of many people, the Sea Area of the New World North was divided among three Faction: the Pluto Pirates, the Flying Pirates, and the Big Mom Pirates.
Including the Sea Area North of the Kronos Kingdom, in the perception of many people, it belonged to the Pluto Pirates' Territory.
Perhaps it was knowing that the Pluto Pirates' Northern Sea Area didn't belong to the Pluto Pirates.
This gave these Pirate Confidence.
As for the powerful Marines that had appeared in rumors, and the Kronos Kingdom, they were not put in their eyes.
The outcome was undoubtedly predetermined.
For these aggressive Pirate, it was even more of a tragedy; they might not have realized it.
If they knew who stood behind the Kronos Kingdom, they would absolutely not dare to do this.
Unfortunately, no one reminded them.
Pirate naturally made countless enemies among themselves, and basically had no Friend.
Not to mention the Underworld Forces.
Pirate with strong influence in the Underworld were few and far between.
Moreover, the relevant Underworld Forces directly enforced a blockade on information, especially those Dark King.
Even if someone wanted to understand intelligence about the Kronos Kingdom, they would deliberately release a little intelligence to mislead them.
The intelligence couldn't be said to be true or false, but there was definitely not much of it, and it didn't touch upon the core.
These insiders preferred to watch the show and see how the Kronos Kingdom would take a countermeasure next.
Although the live streaming footage was very boring, many Faction waited with great patience.
Naturally, there were Subordinate paying Attention, and as soon as there was any movement and the two sides were about to meet, they would be notified immediately.
At the same time, many high tier from Marine Headquarters gathered together.
Even the many geniuses within the Marine Elite Training Camp had the expectation of the two sides meeting.
That way, they could finish their training, take a short break, watch a "movie," see a broader World, and gain experience at the same time.
Zephyr very much hoped to see this point; the Monster on the Great Sea were countless.
By watching those young Strongman, these geniuses recommended from various Branch could realize that there were always stronger people out there, and the World was vast.
Compared to those true Monster, they were nothing at all, and could even only be called ordinary humans.
Putting down the arrogance in their hearts, they would make more investment towards becoming stronger.
Those Monster were very likely the Enemies they would have to put up resistance against in the future.
And for the Marines, the Kronos Kingdom had always been a very mysterious Faction.
The strength revealed just on the surface was very terrifying.
Not to mention the Pluto Pirates, Hades and Titan, two World Peak combat powers, and Hades' other Child.
There were even Zoro and Zoffy, who had appeared in the Swordsmanship Tournament.
Zoffy exhibited strong combat power in the first Swordsmanship Tournament.
Although he didn't participate in the second Swordsmanship Tournament, and was relatively old, even if his strength had declined, it wasn't by much.
This was only what was on the surface.
What else was known was that the Kronos Kingdom's military system was roughly similar to the Marines'.
And they possessed Marines and an Army, and also had Three Admiral for the Army and Three Navy Admiral.
From the warship styles and military uniforms, one could determine which Military Faction they belonged to, as their characteristics were very distinct.
As for which Strongman were among them?
They weren't clear, as the Military was also very mysterious within the Kronos Kingdom.
However, what could be confirmed was that the Kronos Kingdom's warships were very powerful; even based on some descriptions, it could be judged that they were stronger than Marine warships.
This was a fact that could not be ignored.
Just Puto Island, this World Shipbuilding Capital, was enough to show the Kronos Kingdom's powerful technological strength.
Warships also had to consider cost.
For Puto Island, as long as enough money was paid, a warship specifically built to be stronger than a Marine warship could be created.
